Laboratory & Diagnostic Services

In-House Laboratory Testing

We offer in-house testing for diseases as such as:

Heartworm

Feline Leukemia

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus

Parvo

Intestinal Parasites

We can also perform most general health profiles in-house. Because the tests are performed in-house, we can give you same-day results. This benefits your pet because we can begin necessary treatment immediately. In addition, we recommend pre-surgical screening for all of our surgical patients. This allows us to get a baseline of information about your pet's health. In addition we may learn of a "hidden" pre-existing condition.

Ultrasound Technology

Ultrasound technology provides additional information that can be invaluable in diagnosing a pet's condition. It is a painless and non-invasive way to examine a pet's internal organs. Although it is used commonly in human medicine, it has not been as readily available in veterinary medicine. We are now able to offer this service in house. We were the first veterinary clinic in Kansas to establish a relationship with Oncura Partners. This provides real-time assistance with veterinary ultrasonographers in capturing the best images for diagnosing conditions. It also allows for rapid turn-around interpretation by veterinary specialists.

Ultrasound can be used to examine internal organs such as the liver, kidney, spleen, gall bladder, stomach, and urinary bladder. An ultrasound can be used to conduct safe pet pregnancy screenings. In some cases, it can help detect the early stages of cancer. If you think this technology might be beneficial to your pet, please give us a call or set up an appointment to discuss with with our veterinarians.

Digital Radiology

Our digital x-ray unit produces sharp, high-quality diagnostic images of your pet. This enables our doctors to make a quicker, accurate diagnosis. This means that we can start treating your pet sooner. Digital x-rays have many advantages for your pet, our hospital, and the environment. Because the image quality of digital x-rays is higher, your pet spends less time on the x-ray table. This means less stress on your pet. Digital x-rays can be manipulated to vary the contrast of the image or magnify areas of concern. Because of this advantage, we can see things on the digital image that a film x-ray wouldn't allow us to see. Unlike traditional plate x-rays, no film is developed for digital x-rays, so no toxic chemicals are needed to produce the x-rays.
